Harry Reid was interviewed by the FBI in the Robert Menendez corruption investigation

 A few days ago we learned the Department of Injustice was preparing to file criminal corruption charges against New Jersey Democratic Senator Robert Menendez sometime in the near future.

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid voluntarily interviewed with Justice Department lawyers and FBI agents a year ago as they were investigating Sen. Robert Menendez for possible corruption, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Reid’s interview with DOJ lawyers and FBI agents focused on his interaction with Menendez and Salomon Melgen, a close friend of the New Jersey Democrat and a big donor. The Menendez-Melgen relationship is at the heart of the federal criminal investigation, and Menendez had sought Reid’s help in assisting the Florida ophthalmologist resolve a multimillion-dollar billing dispute his company was having with the federal government.
